Easter Seals provides financial assistance and direct-to-client programs to help ensure that Canadians living with disabilities have access to the essential assistive, adaptive, communications and learning technology – such as wheelchairs/powerchairs, walkers, speech and hearing aids, home modifications such as ramps and elevators – that they need to get around, live, work and play while maximizing their independence.

Easter Seals offers a range of adaptive sports, recreation and leisure programs such as sledge hockey, wheelchair basketball, boci, and much more. These programs encourage and create opportunities for Canadians living with disabilities to get active and socialize, leading to greater physical and mental well-being for individuals, and stronger integration in the community.

Easter Seals offers academic scholarships and bursaries to help with the cost of higher education, as well as pre-employment and job placement/coaching services. These services are geared toward assisting youth and adults pursue their dreams and aspirations, and secure meaningful employment.

Easter Seals offers accessible summer camp experiences for children, youth, adults and families. Mostly held at dedicated Easter Seals facilities, the camps provide participants with the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, take part in activities that they would otherwise have limited access to such as rock climbing, boating, rope courses, build skills and cultivate life-long friendships and memories.

The Access 2 Card Program is an Easter Seals initiative that allows people with permanent disabilities to receive either free or significantly discounted admission for their support person at over 400 partner venues across the country, including movie theatres, cultural attractions and recreation facilities.
